Cheap High Quality Bubbler

Member, Known Well
@lwien To be honest, no. I think the smaller can may help, but I'm not really sure. I'll do a test in a minute and post back. I'll be comparing the GB-187 (matrix perc) vs. the D020-X.

Disclaimer: I quite smoking about 1 year ago. I think my sense of taste has recovered, but I wanted to throw that out there.

EDIT: I stand corrected, good call. Let's say the GB-187 is an 80 (out of 100) and the D020-X is 60-65. Not a bad thing given the other tradeoffs, but good to know. For testing I took two fresh hits of ground Chemdawg from each.

Do you guys notice that with all the diffusion that takes place in those honeycombs, that it strips most of the taste from your bud?
I have a fritted disc AC that should absolutely remove tons of flavor with all the diffusion and there is some loss but nowhere near as much as you'd think. Plus the residue vapor leaves in my fritted disc AC is just unreal, it looks like a layer of crumble.

@nihil I've actually never experienced one :0 everyone I know has had trees or showerhead percs, BUT that is actually the bubbler that led me to looking for one a while back lol

Didn't want to splurge too much, but I did kind of want to get an ashcatcher with the frit disc...soon, soon.

@HellsWindStaff Fuck splurging, start collecting. With the Chinese glass, you order a few pieces when you can, they show up over the course of a month. After 6 months, you have a collection. And if one of the many sucks, you're out 30 bucks (i.e. no fucks are given).

And with the community designed stuff showing up lately, it's only going to get better.

Currently using a first generation GB-187 with a whip, JoDa stem, and enano.. fucking epic experience.

Light blonde? A ridiculous thing about my D020-2S is that I feed it dark, almost black reclaim and the most delicious looking light blonde reclaim gathers above the turbine disc. That frit is filtering out a lot of nasties and delivering a rather pure cocktail of actives to its user.

Just placed orders fro two items.

1. Grav Labs upline copy from CCG

2. 8" Inline bubbler from foryou2000

Only reason I got the 8" is because it comes with a 14.5mm female bowl which I will need to use with the upline. And for only $4 more than getting just the bowl why not? It'll be my portable piece. Or maybe I'll sell it. I could probably get around $50 for it!

@stickstones the upline splashes water just about everywhere in the piece, so resin have practically no where to stick to the glass besides in the downstem above the water.

The ME perc (bamboo downstem) gets all wet when you clear the piece, so it won't really get dirty. But the dowstem between the bowl and the water will get dirty as there is no moving water there.

Well, I won't argue with those guys since they actually have one, but I can't get my head around that bamboo not getting sticky and dirty and not being able to get to it.

i know not many of you guys "combust" or smoke bt's, but im just wondering how matrix percs,(bc im super interested in the FC-186) would work, or how hard itd be to clean, even in your guys opinion, would the matrix percs get all clogged up w stuff eventually and are they super hard to get clean if so?! thanks if u have any info or opinions...

:puke:

I bought a less fortunate friend a YQ-42 for combustion. He was concerned about the Matrix perc getting clogged up - it does get a bit nasty with use, but I've had no problem cleaning it with PBW soaks. And now he's using cranberry extract (rezblock), so that seems to help keep his glass looking pretty nice (still reeks like a combustion piece, but at least it doesn't look like one!)

I ran my 187 for a month dry, let the perc and downstem collect goodies. When it was caked thoroughly I would dump 190+ proof alcohol and let it sit for awhile. Then I would take a utensil and scrape the downstem clean. Rewash a few times and the perc was spotless. I've done this twice now and haven't needed the PBW for it yet. Ohh and the reclaim is amazing, I hit it through my starbucks with no h20 and it was tasty and surprisingly not harsh, might have to go enjoy a dab now!

Light blonde is a decent descriptor but I'd say it's even closer to gold. It basically looks identical to this (color and texture) and remember, this is coming from vapor so it's all reclaim.

Okay so I thought I was overpaying dhgate seller coolbong, for a gb-187, and I was okay with that because the only other seller (yingmin5) only had it listed in quantities of 12 or more and I really wanted one because it looks like my gb-186's smaller sibling. But what I received is another gb-186.

Coolbong's packaging was better than yingmin5's, instead of using the larger bubblewrap around the outside these guys constructed a "mini ice chest" out of 1" foam slabs:

So I didn't get what I wanted or what the listing pictures (it doesn't come up when searching for a gb-1867 anymore but it did when I bought it), but I got what I paid for. I have no idea how to complain about this!

For simplicity :freak::

Here's the listing I purchased from:
http://www.dhgate.com/product/roor-...a/213996633.html#myaccount_orderdetail-1-null

Here's what I actually received:
http://www.dhgate.com/product/hot-s...lass-smoking/190640698.html#s1-0-1|1177163450

Fixed a minor error, the gb-18SEVEN is what I was/am searching for!
No wonder these guys send the wrong thing sometime, these numbers can get confusing!

Do you have any idea how effective the percs actually are?
I don't own one yet, so i don't really know.

I have a GB-186 i use for combustion whenever my non-vaping/cigarette smoking friends come to visit. It's easily the best combustion piece i own. It's also one of my easiest of my bongs to clean. I just put it in the sink and spray warm water into the joint for 2 minutes until it's clean. I think i smoke about 2grams of flower before i clean my combustion piece, so it's never really gets really dirty..

Guys, who makes the best Chinese double barrel? I see CCG, crown, and bubbler have one. I know from posts in here that people have had issues with CCG though.

What is the best way to simply/maximize reclaim from vaping?
